big berthas

i was a bit hesitant about doing a big hills session this close to the big day but figured i could take it slowly (although its never easy...). I had 10 on my program but at 6 i was feeling the pain above my ankle again (grrrrrrr) and stopped for a stretch. then sean said that would probably be enough.

on the plus side i started easy and wasn't busting a gut but at the same time i felt quite strong and consistent and managed to go past some people who started a lot faster than me - which is completely unusual for me. So i am happy and feel a bit more confident that i can handle some hills.

all up 6.73k this morning. the hills section was 2.56km at 6.04 avg pace.

in sad news - Go Girl is too injured to run on sunday. of course i would love having her along but i want her to get better! plus i've still got lots of buddies - blkbox is still on board and there is gnome in the 2 hour pace group and i think Horrie and Belinda will be around my timing. (although judging by Belinda's inner speed demon on the track i am not so sure!!). i'm staying in kirribilli on saturday night with some mates which will be great - will definitely take some of the stress out of the early morning transportation drama!

3 sleeps to go :) and one more run...
